Chapter 54 (2/2)
“Hehe! It’s no big deal to defeat a Lv 6 Core Forming Realm cultivator who relies on elixirs. I’ll even feel ashamed if this is publicized.”
Bai Ying made a casual wave with her hand as she spoke, infuriating Perfected Immortal Yunyin. She was obviously a mere Lv 8 Foundation Building Realm cultivator while he was obviously a Lv 6 Core Forming Realm cultivator. Though he didn’t have much combat experience, how could he fail to take down a mere Foundation Building Realm cultivator?
Impossible!
All of a sudden, the clouds above the floating platform underwent a drastic transformation to swirl around the platform. The veins on Perfected Immortal Yunyin’s face protruded as dazzling golden lights shot out of him. The lights made him look like a celestial being.
Everyone below the platform lost heart to see that he was overdrawing his body’s True Energy. Regular cultivators would experience a decline in their cultivation after exhausting their True Energy. For example, one must release all the True Energy in one’s body in order to void one’s cultivation.
“I have no need for my Lv 6 Core Forming Realm cultivation if I can’t even defeat a Lv 8 Foundation Building Realm cultivator like you!”
Perfected Immortal Yunyin was acting like a madman. The entire floating platform shook with a bellow from him. The endless golden lights were so dazzling that many people below couldn’t open their eyes.
“Hehe! You’re jumping the wall from all that pressure?” Bai Ying still looked as carefree as ever.
The disciples below were all horrified. The might of a power produced from overdrawing one’s True Energy was unimaginable, yet Bai Ying still dared to provoke her opponent. She truly didn’t want to live anymore!
Xiao Chen’s forehead was gradually drenched in sweat. The racing of his heart became more and more intense.
All of a sudden, a massive, hundred-foot-long sword glowing with golden light appeared in the sky. It was none other than the unique skill of the Skygale Sect, the Heavenly Punishment Sword. The moment the sword plunged, the sky was eclipsed. Even the sun was overshadowed.
The sword had yet to fall, but the vast and unparalleled Sword Qi had caused the entire floating platform to tremble violently. The fact that it looked as if the platform would collapse and fall at any time resulted in countless disciples below seeking shelter.
“Hehe! Bai Ying, I’ve used two levels of my cultivation. Today is the day you die!” Perfected Immortal Yunyin’s expression was frosty. This attack was brimming with murderous aura but he had merely used two levels of his cultivation. Even so, it wasn’t something that the average cultivator couldn’t withstand.
Bai Ying smiled coolly and once again poured a layer of True Energy into the tree branch, making it look like a dazzling Immortal’s Sword. She pointed her sword to the sky and casually recited a spell. All of a sudden, a mighty Suddenly, a gush of force surged from the edge of the blade toward the sky.
It was also at this moment that she shook her foot. She looked as if she was about to topple. She covered her forehead with one hand as if she would faint at any moment.
“What’s wrong? What wrong with Elder Bai?!”
“Sigh. She’s nevertheless still in the Foundation Building Realm. Looks like she’s no longer able to withstand the Sword Qi…”
The discussions under the platform were unceasing as the mood turned chaotic. Suddenly, a murderous intention emerged in Perfected Immortal Yunyin’s eyes. “Hehe! Even the heaven is helping me!” He once again injected the Heavenly Punishment Sword with another level of cultivation. This sword would definitely claim Bai Ying’s life!
Xiao Chen’s expression abruptly shifted. “No—” Following a long whistle, he flew toward the floating platform like an orb of white light.
“What? Has he gone mad? That’s the might of Core Forming Realm! Is he trying to dig his own grave?!”
Following the resumption of the discussions, the Elders paled as well. That was the might of a Core Forming Realm Cultivator cultivator’s True Energy! The moment when Xiao Chen came into contact with even the smallest sliver of the power, his body and soul would be destroyed in an instant!
Li Muxue, Luo Shangyan, and the others also turned pale in a flash. Mo Yu frowned. Was this his opponent? Xiao Chen wasn’t even afraid of the might of a Core Forming Realm cultivator. The more he mulled over it, the more he found himself no match for Xiao Chen. He snorted coldly. “What brute courage! So be it if you die!”
As Xiao Chen drew closer and closer to the floating platform, the fierce winds nearly tore him apart. He held on by using all of his True Energy and managed to reach for Bai Ying. “Hold on, Master! Your disciple is coming to save you!”
With a roar, the Heavenly Punishment Sword high up in the sky finally approached. The vast and unparalleled Sword Qi could tear everything and everyone apart. How could Xiao Chen, a disciple in the Qi Refining Realm, be able to withstand it?
“Puff!” He spat a mouthful of blood after facing a vicious surge of the Sword Qi. He slowly fell down but he continued to hold onto Bai Ying. His eyes were full of unwillingness.
He was already seeing Bai Ying as his master Ling Yin at that moment, but were things ending just like this…
While in a daze, he seemed to have returned to the day the death sentence was carried out at the Execution Tower. He heard the words Ling Yin told him back when she protected his soul ringing next to his ears: “Chen’er, wait for me to enter the Grand Completion Realm in a thousand years. We’ll meet again then, once again…”
Didn’t they agree to meet again…
Ten feet, five feet, three feet…
The Heavenly Punishment Sword was getting so close to Bai Ying that her death seemed all but certain. The disciples on the ground held their breath. Suddenly, Bai Ying raised her head and two flashes of light flitted across in her pupils. Then, with a flick of her left sleeve, she rolled over the falling Xiao Chen and brought him to the edge of the floating platform.
She pointed the branch in her right hand to the sky and a layer of pale green Qi shield instantly took shape. Only a loud bang was heard the moment the Heavenly Punishment Sword fell on the floating platform. The entire platform sank more than ten feet and nearly collapsed.
